Notice how they're facing away from the flames

If your city is on fire, you haven't held the line.

Civil Unrest 2020!

"Uphold the Constitution" lmfao get the fuck out of here.

---

So now police are giving themselves participation trophies?

---

Imagine trying to make yourself the hero when you caused riots by murdering an innocent woman who was in the home of the person that you you shouldn't have been serving a warrant on to begin with.

Protect the city by killing its people

Cops literally think they're Judge Dredd, this is so gross

challenge coins have been around forever. They mean nothing. I have a drawer full of them in my house from my time in the military. They mean absolutely nothing and have no bearing to anything. Same crowd of users about to have a meltdown over absolutely nothing

Nothing about the imagery they (specifically, Louisville) went with strikes you as odd or wrong?

A wall of faceless soldiers with their backs turned on a city (specifically, Louisville) in flaming ruins, with the caption 'hold the line'? Seriously? Nothin wrong about that?

Nope. There really isnt lol

"We caused all the problems, solved none of them, and are awarding ourselves for it."

Also a coin with that unique of a shape and that level of detail on two sides probably cost a fair amount of money to produce. I'm curious how many they made.

Traditionally, they might be given to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale.

from my experience its never the actual department that makes them either. Usually a group of cops get together and just make them. Everywhere is different tho

---

Lmao

---

Cops continue to be horrible, horrible self fellating people, story at 9

---

Looks more like a belt buckle than a coin.

Even if it does, its nothing to get upset about. Its meaningless

Because he's a cop.

Are these supposed to be "Please don't choke me to death." cards for a one-time use?

---

Very cool, nicely detailed. I want one.

Fucking cops

Yep, because thats what every cop did and wanted to do! We all lined up dancing waiting for a beating stick /s

Every cop I knew was annoyed and pissed. Every day off we had was taken away with mandatory 12+ Plus hours shift outside in the blistering hit. While protesters spent all day throwing rocks and shit at us. Being called shit.
My partner and I got called racist white cops like 100+ times by a white person while Im Mexican and hes black. Was also a weird experience. Nobody wanted to be out there

grow up dude

Yup, take a look at this article. This is just one segment but there are lots of other examples if you click the link:

In another clip, a sergeant approaches the officer behind camera X81331058 and begins telling him about using a police vehicle to attack demonstrators.

Dude, dude, dude, I fuckin drove down Tremontthere was an unmarked state police cruiser they were all gathered around, says the sergeant, laughing.
So then I had a fucker keep coming, fucking running, he continues. Im fucking hitting people with the car, did you hear me, I was like, get the fuck'
At this point the officer behind the camera pushes the sergeants head away and walks off in the other direction. He comes back a few seconds later, saying, its on, about the camera.

The sergeant quickly changes his story.
Oh, no no no no no, what Im saying is, though, that they were in front, like, I didnt hit anybody, like, just driving, thats all, he says. My windows were closed, the shit was coming in.

The officer then apologizes.

This thing just fucking went on automatically, he says.

they all do it. cuz they are man children.

my good friend served 4 tours in the marine corps. military has this problem in spades; but at least its war.

I dislike cops, but I feel there are other professions that are equally deserving of hate but isnt in the limelight to receive it

Awwwww boo hoo aaaawwwwww did you wose your days off and have to work extra hours because your "brothers" cant seem to stop murdering people aaawwwwww.
Maybe if your people took a harder stance on crooked cops there'd be less murdered civilians and grieving families. Fuck your inconvenience.

But hey, the real tragedy here is you having to work extra hours, are you holding up ok? Fuck that sounds rough.

And yet "everyone" will fight tooth and nail to protect that one idiot
